On the Origins of Toughness in Corymbia calophylla (Marri Tree) Nuts

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We uncover the natural toughening mechanisms of the marri nut, including fiber pullout, crack deflection, and a viscoelastic matrix, which enable exceptional energy absorption and ductility comparable to Teflon, with an elastic modulus similar to acrylic.

De Novo Design and Directed Evolution Refinement of Mirror‐Image Protein Binders Targeting Interleukin‐4

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents the de novo design and directed evolution of a mirror‐image D‐protein inhibitor targeting human interleukin‐4 (IL‐4). The engineered molecule exhibits nanomolar binding affinity for IL‐4 and effectively inhibits IL‐4–mediated signaling.

β‐Triketone‐Based Ionizable Cationic Lipids Synthesized via Click Chemistry for siRNA Delivery

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study innovatively applies β‐triketone‐based click chemistry in the synthesis of ionizable cationic lipids (ICLs), which allows the generation of a lipid library in large quantities and in a short time. The ICLs identified achieved effective lipid nanoparticles‐mediated hepatic gene silencing in vivo using siRNA, and computational simulations are ...

Tax Reform and Environmental Taxation [PDF]

I measure the industry impacts of an environmental tax reform where a carbon tax is used to finance full or partial corporate tax integration. I find that the industry impacts of such a reform are likely to be modest (in the sense of impacts on returns ...

Alphaviral Capsid Proteins Inhibit Stress Granule Assembly via Competitive RNA Binding With G3BP1

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Stress granules exert antiviral functions. This study illustrates a conserved function of alphaviral capsid proteins in modulating stress granules. Oligomerization mediated by a helical motif coupled with a positively charged intrinsically disordered region (IDR) directly competes with G3BP1 for RNA binding, thereby disrupting G3BP1‐RNA liquid–liquid ...
